Amphitryon Hotel

We booked 2 rooms for the 3 of us, my mother and my son and I. 5 stars for hotel location and view. 1 star for the rest. Not the employees fault. They are severely understaffed, there is nowhere to truly sit, rest drink anything. Pool shared with hotel which is above, u need to walk uphill. Pity, it could have been a super gem. Invest in your hotel, owner !!!!!

Believe the low reviews. The hotel was likely once lovely and boasts a great location and views. However the hotel has been poorly maintained and is suffering for updates and a more diligent cleaning staff. The pool is at a sister property up the hill but we were unable to access it due to a private event which was frustrating since we explicitly booked this hotel to have a pool. The WiFi did not work. There was no staff in sight at the front deck or the bar to order a drink.

We very nearly didn't stay here because of the poor reviews. Our experience was excellent. Beautifully positioned, with outstanding views from the balconies and within a few minutes of lovely cafes, restaurants and the town square. Our bedroom was huge with spa bath, seperate toilet and shower and double wash basin. Bed very comfortable and the balcony with those amazing views! Breakfast was plentiful and all staff very helpful and friendly. Our room was on the 1st floor so had the potential to be noisy with adjacent road, but we heard nothing. Also, the balcony y here was very sheltered should there be winds. Yes there are a lot if switches to manage lighting/ curtains but you soon get used to these. I have already recommended this hotel to others - and we only left a couple of days ago!

Hotel location is great, fantastic views of the sea from all rooms. Booke an executive room and family room for the 3 teenager kids. Family room was good with 2 rooms, a double and a single bed. The Good was Location and Views and some of the Staff were very polite but not helpful in sharing info. Hotel is dated, rooms and furniture even worse. Bubbling walls in public areas, strange smell in the corridors. Balcony furniture pretty uncomfortable, we saw that other rooms beside has extra pillows on wooden bench, seems not enough for all executive rooms though, we were not the lucky ones. Breakfast was poor, staff was polite but offered extra things only once one had finished his breakfast !!! Definitely inadequate breakfast for 350 euro/night. While arrived and needed to park and drop off luggage, person in front door did not offer any help although told we were going to check in. Ater making rounds and eventually found place to park in the street, when at the lobby he told us that we can go park to the other hotel on top of the hill... thanks for not offering the info earlier and send us to look for a place to park in the street!!! Definitely no value for money. Old glories now gone, seems only prices are high at the hotel.

First the room was comfortable, the view was stunning, and the staff were helpful - my sympathies to the two ladies serving breakfast one morning when all the members of two tour parties turned up at the same time. Now the downsides. There is no information, and I'm not just talking about no tourist information, though there is none in either the lobby or your room. In the lobby you will find no signs directing you where various rooms are, or the toilets, though there is one sign saying the restaurant (for breakfast) is upstairs - you just have to search it out. There is nothing in your room telling you what time breakfast is served, or how to work the curtains or the air conditioning, or even how to leave in case of fire - I thought this last was a legal requirement. There is apparently a swimming pool, I don't know where, because again there is no information. In the section below on hotel amenities I have clicked not sure on everything. The wifi is intermittent at best. The bathroom door is very heavy and slides, but has no handle, don't push it too far back, you will never get it out again, especially if you have weak wrists.
